Mirwaiz Hopes PM Modi Revives Spirit Of Regional Engagement
Bats for dialogue, urges India-Pakistan engagement Karbala an Eternal Lesson in Truth, Justice, Sacrifice Srinagar, June 26: : Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Molvi Mohammad Umar Farooq on Friday said dialogue, diplomacy and engagement remain the only sustainable path to resolving conflicts, urging India and Pakistan to revive efforts towards peace while drawing parallels from recent global developments. Addressing the Friday congregation at Jama Masjid Srinagar on Youm-e-Ashoora, Mirwaiz said the recent United States-Israel confrontation with Iran once again demonstrated that military force, however overwhelming, has its limits. Wars can alter circumstances and inflict immense suffering, but durable peace and lasting solutions ultimately require dialogue, negotiation and statesmanship, he said. He noted that even after months of confrontation, enormous expenditure of resources and immense human suffering, adversaries eventually returned to the negotiating table. It is not a sign of weakness on either side; it reflects the reality that disputes cannot be resolved through force alone, he said, appreciating efforts by regional and international actors, including Pakistan and Qatar, to facilitate an environment conducive to dialogue. Mirwaiz said the same lesson holds particular relevance for South Asia, especially India and Pakistan. Our region is home to nearly one-fourth of humanity. It possesses immense civilizational wealth, extraordinary human resources and enormous economic potential. Yet for decades, political tensions, mistrust and unresolved issues have prevented the peoples of this region from fully realizing these possibilities. Societies suffer not only economically, but also emotionally and psychologically, he said. Referring to his own commitment to dialogue, Mirwaiz said that following the assassination of his father, Shaheed Mirwaiz Molvi Farooq, in 1990, he inherited not only the office of the Mirwaiz but also the responsibility to uphold the principles for which his father laid down his life. He said Shaheed Mirwaiz consistently advocated justice and dialogue over violence and supported engagement between India and Pakistan, believing that the interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the wider region would be best served through peace, mutual respect and meaningful dialogue. Mirwaiz said that whether through the Awami Action Committee or later through the All Parties Hurriyat Conference, he has consistently upheld this principle for more than 36 years despite facing considerable odds and pushback. Sustainable peace cannot emerge from wars, force or violence. Lasting solutions require engagement, understanding and the courage to listen even to those with whom one disagrees, he said. Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mirwaiz said he is today among the longest-serving leaders in independent India. He recalled that during the early years of his tenure, Modi spoke of regional cooperation and demonstrated an interest in improving relations with neighbouring countries. Those gestures generated hope across South Asia and created expectations of greater regional engagement and stability, he said. Mirwaiz said he had the opportunity, along with his colleagues, to engage with leaders across political dispensations, including former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, former Deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani and former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh. While differences remained, those engagements reflected an important principle: dialogue itself has value. It reduces mistrust, humanises opposing perspectives and creates possibilities that otherwise remain closed, he said. Expressing hope for renewed engagement, Mirwaiz said the spirit that informed Prime Minister Modi in the early years of his tenure, as well as the efforts made under leaders such as Vajpayee and Dr Manmohan Singh, should once again find expression. Peace may be difficult. Dialogue may be slow. Diplomacy may demand patience. Yet these remain the most reliable instruments for resolving issues and securing a better future, Mirwaiz said. Referring to the significance of Youm-e-Ashoora, Mirwaiz said the tragedy of Karbala is not merely a chapter of history but an eternal lesson in truth, patience, justice and sacrifice. He said Imam Hussain (RA) did not seek war or confrontation but stood for the principle that differences should be addressed through truth, adherence to the principles of Islam and sincere dialogue. When those before him chose oppression and violence instead, history recorded their failure forever, while Imam Hussain (RA) and his devoted companions became everlasting symbols of courage, sacrifice and steadfastness upon truth. Karbala reminds us that power may appear strong for a time, but in the end it is truth, justice and moral courage that prevail, he said, adding that when force replaces reason and confrontation replaces communication, societies suffer, whereas truth, patience and dialogue leave behind a legacy that history honours.

Sooryavanshi To Get A Separate Dressing Room During India's T20I Tour Of England
Each County Safeguarding Officer: In a rare move, teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will use a separate dressing room compared to his India teammates during the upcoming five-match T20I series in England, starting in Durham on July 1, to comply with mandatory child safeguarding policies. The protocol for Sooryavanshi is aligned with the rigorous under-16 protective guidelines laid down by both the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). As per the norms, Sooryavanshi is permitted inside the main Indian team dressing room for tactical team meetings, strategy discussions, and match-day interactions. But he will be using the separate dressing room for changing his clothes across all five T20I game venues. This is an ICC event, with their safeguarding procedures active as they have jurisdiction. A safeguarding concern occurring during the event may (in some circumstances) be managed by the ICC. In addition to this, the ECB Safe Hands policy applies at all times. The Cricket Regulator is in contact with the Team Liaison Officer (TLO) for the Indian team to discuss requirements and expectations for the player while he is in the UK, the ECB was quoted as saying in 'The Guardian' on Wednesday. Sooryavanshis parents will accompany him throughout the United Kingdom tour, and they will reside in the official team hotels. Devajit Saikia, the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), had previously said that it would fully sponsor the travel and accommodation expenses of the teenage left-handed batters parents. Each County Safeguarding Officer for the relevant cricket venue is also working closely with the Team Liaison Officer to ensure venue protocols and arrangements (specifically changing room environments) are understood and adhered to. This is conducted via safeguarding risk assessments. It is our understanding that the players parents will be travelling with him at all times. They are staying in the same hotel, which is outside of usual protocol, but agreed on this occasion due to his age. This additional measure provides us with further confidence that he has family members who can provide the additional level of support and care, added the ECB. Each County Safeguarding Officer for the relevant cricket venue is also working closely with the Team Liaison Officer to ensure venue protocols and arrangements (specifically changing room environments) are understood and adhered to. This is conducted via safeguarding risk assessments. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Though Sooryavanshi has previously shared dressing rooms with his team-mates in Bihar, Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, and India A, a debut on the tour of the United Kingdom will see him surpass the legendary Sachin Tendulkar's long-standing record (16 years, 205 days) of India's youngest men's international cricket debutant.
